SUMMARY:Movie: Project Hail Mary with Theater Takeover Tuesday & Potluck Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Potluck Asian America is joining forces with the community-based Theater Takeover Tuesdays crew to screen the new movie Project Hail Mary. \nTheater Takeover Tuesdays is a grassroots moviegoing group organized by Julie Huang and friends that brings communities together to support films\, particularly those connected to Asian and Asian American actors\, writers\, directors\, and creators. The gatherings began during the SAG-AFTRA strike\, when artists could not promote their work in the usual ways and people were eager to reconnect after years of COVID isolation. \nEveryone buys their own ticket\, showing up simply to support the film and the artists behind it. After the screening\, the audience often gathers in the theater lobby for a group photo or short video to capture the moment. \nFrom time to time\, actors\, writers\, directors\, stunt performers\, and others connected to the film stop by to meet the audience. The dream is to bring artists and communities together in a joyful\, authentic way while encouraging more organizations to join the effort and help fill theaters through the simple act of showing up. \nTuesday\, March 31\nJoin us for the 6:30 PM showing at Regal Essex Crossing\nTickets: $7.99 (+ $2 handling fee) \nTicket note:\nTickets are $7.99 if purchased at the theater (no booking fee). Regal adds a $2 fee for app purchases. If anyone reaches out trying to sell tickets\, we recommend ignoring and purchasing directly through Regal.\nPlease ignore strangers trying to sell you their extra ticket and purchase directly through Regal.\nCheck out this video on how you can get your Regal Crown Club tix for this price! https://youtube.com/shorts/T0LEbd1_LHY \nHappy Hour before the movie at 5:00: La Caverna\, 122 Rivington Street \nProject Hail Mary:  Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns\, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

DESCRIPTION:China Institute invites you to an evening conversation with Zhang Qin\, author of A Solitary Traveler in the Long Night\n\n\nChina Institute invites you to an evening conversation with Zhang Qin\, author of A Solitary Traveler in the Long Night\, an intimate portrait of Tong Jun\, a pioneering architect and architectural educator whose work helped shape the intellectual foundations of modern Chinese architecture. Blending architectural history\, personal reflection\, and cultural analysis\, the book reveals the inner world of a master architect whose influence far exceeded the limited records of his life. The conversation will be moderated by Susan Yuqing Feng\, Director of Programs at China Institute\, and followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. \n \nSchedule \n5:30–6:00 pm | Audience check-in6:00–6:45 pm | Conversation with Qin Zhang\, moderated by Susan Yuqing Feng6:45–7:00 pm | Audience Q&A7:00–7:30 pm | Book sale and signing \n \nAbout the Book \nA Solitary Traveler in the Long Night revisits the life and legacy of Tong Jun\, an outstanding architect and architectural educator in contemporary China. Widely regarded as an all-around talent\, Tong Jun made lasting contributions as a theorist\, designer\, writer\, and painter. Deeply grounded in ancient Chinese literature\, he studied classical poetry from an early age and later received formal architectural training in both China and the United States\, earning multiple awards while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. \nTong Jun left behind an extensive body of work and manuscripts on architecture\, landscape\, architectural history\, sculpture\, and painting that have profoundly influenced generations of architects and scholars. Yet despite his intellectual impact\, records of his personal life remain scarce. Focusing on the final twenty years of Tong Jun’s life\, this book brings forward a vivid and human portrait of a solitary thinker and practitioner navigating tradition\, modernity\, and artistic conviction. \n \nSpeaker and Moderator \nQin Zhang | Author \nHonorary Professor in School of Architecture at China Academy of Art\, Prof. Zhang is an established leader dedicated to uniting individuals and leveraging expertise in Architecture and Urban Planning to bring about impactful collaboration and achievement.

SUMMARY:Shu Lea Cheang\, LOVER LOVE
DESCRIPTION:LOVER LOVE\, a new commission for the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art by Shu Lea Cheang\, begins with a portal. A window is flung open and the gray wall of an apartment block dissolves into a turbulent\, overcast sky\, against which a smoky being is enveloped by a six-winged seraphim—an angel of the highest order. \nThis opening transition is both a gesture to Cheang’s longtime collaborator\, musician Aérea Negrot (1980–2023)\, who died by suicide\, and a marker of an entry into a hybrid space of documentation and imagination. For this film\, presented as a four-channel installation\, Cheang worked with eight intergenerational performers in Tucson\, Arizona\, all of whom contributed their own experiences\, narratives\, and dreams of and for trans and gender nonconforming life in today’s United States. \nThis collaboratively scripted film moves between physical and virtual space: between performances in a motel room\, a junkyard\, and city streets amid surrounding nature\, we can see desert plants blooming anthropomorphic appendages and souls escaping inhuman oppression to take transhuman flight. \nThe gallery’s four screens\, themselves portals to the film’s world\, can be shifted by viewers into and out of the path of each projector. Each movement triggers a segment of Negrot’s 2011 track “It’s Lover\, Love”—a dreamy\, minimalist meditation on the lingering traces of broken promises and vanished love. These aural and physical shifts create new compositions\, morphing the installation into an active landscape in which to navigate agency\, survival\, and intimacy in a time of escalating political precarity.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Japanese Art & Music
DESCRIPTION:Art by Nishiki Sugawara-Beda; Music from Shoko Nagai & Satoshi Takeishi; + Art discussion moderated by Kyoko Sato of Japan Contemporaries.\n\n\nJoin us to hear live music by renowned Japanese due renowned duo Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeishi that was inspired by Scale and Tonality\, a solo exhibition featuring new  work by artist Nishiki Sugawara-Beda. \nFollowing the performance\, Kyoko Sato\, a New York-based curator and Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Japan Contemporaries\, will moderated an art discussion with Sugarwara-Beda about her brand-new body of work\, KuroKuroShiro+\, which she began in early 2024 with the invitation to artistically respond to Palo Duro Canyon in west Texas\, the second largest canyon in the US. Multiple visits to the canyon allowed her to touch\, feel\, and extract materials from the canyon system and created this series of work that incorporated the materials from Texas.  \nSugawara-Beda collaborated with New York-based composer\, pianist\, and accordionist\, Shoko Nagai\, who created two pieces of music after visiting the canyon with Sugawara-Beda. Springboarded from this experience\, Scale and Tonality explores how the titular themes intersect in both the visual and aural realms.  \nUltimately\, this exhibition explores the relationship between scales and tonalites across music and painting through the materials the artist has harvested and collected from her current home state\, Texas\, and her native country\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Center for Black Visual Culture. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nJeff Chang and cultural critic Bakari Kitwana discuss Chang’s new publication Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America (Mariner\, 2025). This conversation will be followed by a book signing\, during which copies will be available for purchase. \nAs the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever\, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger\, strength\, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two\, the legend has eclipsed the real man. During his lifetime\, Lee fought to be seen—from Hong Kong to Hollywood\, Asian tenements to American ghettos\, the lonely garret to the international screen. He emerged as a star in an era when Asian Americans were fighting against exclusion and invisibility. Now\, drawing on private letters\, rare documents and photos\, and interviews with his closest confidants\, Water Mirror Echo reveals the Bruce many never saw and places his complicated life within a revolution from which it cannot be separated: the emergence of Asian America. \n\n\n\nJeff Chang’s first book\, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation\, was called one of the best nonfiction books of the last quarter century. His latest\, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America\, was named one of 2025’s Best by Publisher’s Weekly\, Alta\, Vogue\, Kirkus\, and NPR. He authored the award-winning Who We Be: A Cultural History of Race in Post Civil Rights America\, and We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes On Race and Resegregation. He has written for the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, The Guardian\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, and many more. He is the host of the Signal award-winning podcast\, Edge of Reason\, and of KALW Public Media’s podcast\, Notes From the Edge. \nBakari Kitwana an internationally known cultural critic\, journalist\, activist\, and thought leader in the area of hip-hop\, youth culture\, and Black political engagement. Kitwana is the executive director of Rap Sessions\, which for the last fourteen years has conducted over 150 townhall meetings around the nation on difficult dialogues facing the hip-hop and millennial generations. Kitwana is the author of Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop and co-editor (with David Orr\, Andrew Gumbel and William Becker) of Democracy Unchained: How to Rebuild Government For the People (The New Press\, 2020). His groundbreaking 2002 book The Hip-Hop Generation popularized the expression and has been adopted as a coursebook in classrooms at over 100 college and universities. \n  \n\nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID.

SUMMARY:Rachel Khong + Mary H.K. Choi: My Dear You
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a release event with award winning writer Rachel Khong\, discussing her new short story collection MY DEAR YOU.\n\n\nModerating this discussion is New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi. This event will be hosted in the Strand Book Store’s 3rd floor Rare Book Room at 828 Broadway on 12th Street. \n \nCan’t make the event? Purchase a signed copy of My Dear You here. \n \nACCESSIBILITY: \nStrand Book Store is an ADA compliant venue. The event space is accessible via elevator. \nASL interpretation is available for this event by request only.

God does away with humans in favor of something much better. A woman adopts a cat who conjures the ghosts of her ex-loves. A factory worker decides to befriend a sex doll she is tasked with selling. \nThese stories go deep beneath the surface\, touching on the particular awkwardness of dating in your thirties and asking: What does it mean to be an Asian woman in America? Or an American? Or a human? Along the way\, the characters stop to consider interventions from the supernatural\, the earthly\, the robotic\, and the immortal. \nPlayful\, profane\, and yet enveloped with profound compassion for life\, however you define it\, My Dear You takes on dating\, marriage\, and the pressures of having or not having children; intimacy\, memory\, race\, and capitalism; living\, dying\, and being dead. At their very core\, they are tales of love in its many forms: being in love when you’re not supposed to be\, or not being in love but wishing you were; failing at dating apps or finding yourself in weird but wonderful lifelong friendships; struggling in heaven to remember your loved ones. \nRanging from the sinister to the tender\, these witty and expertly paced stories will have you laughing out loud one minute and reaching for your best friend the next. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Andrea Lo \nRachel Khong is the author of Goodbye\, Vitamin\, winner of the California Book Award for First Fiction. Real Americans\, her second novel\, was a New York Times bestseller. In 2018\, Khong founded The Ruby\, a work and event space for women and nonbinary writers and artists in San Francisco’s Mission District.
